Mazda Bj5p Special Edition

[shaddy2010]

Not really.... mine has given me 9 km/l in Colombo..

Fuel figures depend on the condition of the car and the way it is driven.

Thats good to hear. I thought it should do around that too. Probably its coz yours is a manual (is it?) I've driven in every possible condition (trying to keep the RPM within 2000, driving on triptronic mode) also did a tune up, changed plugs, cleaned the coils and what not.. but damn..thats all i get. The car is also in prety ok condition (maintained at Mazna Motors)..

I've got the BJ5W with a VVTi engine and manual transmission... I've done a few mods on the air intake, exhaust and fuel pressure, hence the fuel economy cannot be compared.

But, the trip-tronic does 9.5 + km/l.... one point to note is that the ATF on the triptronic needs to be changed every 25,000 to 30,000 kms... It's a smooth ride.

a test drive can be arranged, if needed...

HI, just realised that you have a triptronic too.. would like to see your vehicle. Also would love to have your advise if you could inspect my car..

Have them check your fuel filter... mine was clogged and had to be replaced. It has a huge impact on the figures and pulling..

just to share - i experienced someting really amusing when topping the tank. Generlly i do about 350kms and top it up max 45litres. The petrol meter at the shed cuts of at 42 lts but still the guys tops it up until it reaches the brim. Recently i topped the tank as usual as i had to leave out'a cbo for the long wkend the next day. That night i pumped 42lts as usual, filled it to the brim and came home and was wondering if a full tank would suffice to complete my trip. I rememberd that i had 10 ltrs of spare petrol at home in a gallon and was wondering if to take it with me. For some reason a tried filling the tank again with this 10lts and to my surprise I poured all 10lts. I was shoked as i saw to my eyes when filling it at the shed i topped it to the brim. Also its less than 3kms from teh shed to home and no traffic at all that nite.

However after the trip i came back with a little less tha 1/4 tank. Went to the shed for a refill. Topped it up with 43lts. waited for a while and got the guy to pump again which he did very very slowly and it absorbed another 10lts. How the hell does this happen i wonder. i double checked if the dann petrol was leaking from under.. thank god no issue like that as well.
